Changing Departments?
Question:
Dilemma?
Hi, I visited your web site and also see your input on the PFF board. Is it ethical for
a person to get hired by a dept and then in a few years, apply to a dept closer to home?
Would your opinion change if the person got to go to medic school working as a ff for the
first dept, then applied to the dept close to home after all that training?
Would this be regarded as unethical or opportunistic by the second dept?
Reply:
Ask yourself if the opportunity is to advance your career and benefit your family. If
it does, then do it. It happens all the time. Especially, in promoted ranks.
